I'm a bit of a book worm, so a lot of the songs I write are inspired by books.

Lead me to the cross Where Your love poured out Bring me to my knees Lord I lay me down Rid me of myself I belong to You Lead me, lead me to the cross.

You can analyze all you want but you can never explain away the God factor. Sometimes God just decides to breathe on something and it's completely His prerogative.

The music that I make isn't really like any of the music that I listen to. I think I listen to cool music, but I know that I don't make cool music - so it's kind of funny!

At sixteen I was like: "I need to get an album out now!" - even though I was only sixteen. I was always in a little bit of a rush to be an adult.

I know my sound, and I have to be true to who I am as an artist, even though I want be real cool, and make really cool music.

Never let a day be your control factor

I've made one or two movies that I haven't even seen, because they were never released. I have made things that I never even saw. But I will always go see the movie I'm in.

Because of the structure of the contemporary American party system, every president is polarizing.

God may be the captain pilot of the universe, but it appears that the Devil is his co-pilot!

Podiobooks rules. It's still the best way I know to find an audience for longer works in any genre.

I cannot give up my will - I must exercise it, putting it into action.

I don't like karaoke very much. I like being around it, but I don't like singing it. If I had to sing a karaoke song, it's usually "Son of a Preacher Man" by Dusty Springfield.
